Fairyhouse Fri, 5th Jun, 2026  Florida Bay He had a lovely run with Wayne (Lordan) the first day in Leopardstown, when he just got squeezed a bit late on. If you come here with a run under your belt it’s a fair help on this track. With normal improvement we thought he’d be hard to beat but he was still fairly green. Jack made it on him and when the second horse came to him it helped him, he found plenty for pressure. He’s a lovely type of colt and he’ll have no problem stepping up into stakes company. He’ll probably go to Naas next for the Pat Smullen listed race. If he doesn’t go there he could be one for the Tyros Stakes. Jack said he’d probably be better going up to a mile. He’s a horse that finds plenty for pressure and once he puts it together he’ll be a nice horse for the back end.
Fairyhouse Fri, 5th Jun, 2026  Antigua In fairness, he has run well in a couple of maidens before today. Jack gave him a peach of a ride. He let him at it from the word go and set a solid, even, tempo. He got them at it, really, from halfway. When the second horse came to him, he picked up and went again. This is probably his trip, but he’s in the Ulster Derby in a couple of weeks time and it might be worth a crack at that. We’ll see what way the race in Down Royal cuts up, and he might be worth a go at it. If not we’ll find a mile-and-a-quarter handicap for him.

Leopardstown Thu, 4th Jun, 2026  Endorsement We were thinking of whether he'd be a Vase horse or whatever, so it's possible he could be,. We didn't know how far he'd stay. A-mile-and-a-quarter is as far as he's gone. He could be a Vase horse; could be a King Edward horse. Ryan was very happy with him. His form is solid and it was nice to see him running well anyway (given his form with Derby horses).
